If there was more stars available I would definitely give this place a 10 star rating. From check in to check out the service received was impeccable. Forget the other B&Bs when travelling to ladysmith. This place was awesome. They cater for

Panoramic views of the Drakensberg mountains. Beautiful gardens. A cosy pub full of Boer war memorabilia. A beautiful room with private balcony. Rooms 15 and 16 are the best. Graham is a gracious and knowledgeable host. We visited Spieonkop and the Ladysmith Siege Museum at his suggestion, both excellent (reviewed separately).

Room tip: The best rooms are 15 and 16

This very well maintained place has a beautiful garden and terrasse with great view, perfect for relaxing after a long day of traveling.
The moment we walked in, we instantly wished we had booked for more than just one night.
There has been put major effort into giving this lodge a historical touch with lots of authentic furniture and decoration.
Also the hosts were particularly friendly and gave us a warm welcome when we arrived.
A very special experience that we highly recommend!

We stayed here for one night on a road trip across South Africa, and wish we had stayed longer. The place was very nice, charming, and the staff was extremely helpful with advise about things to see in the area and places to eat. We are defiantly coming back to this place next time we are in SA!

Graham was so helpful, taking time to settle our motley crew (ranging from 3 to 73!) into our rooms and passing on a wealth of local and historical knowledge. Our dietary needs were very well attended too and the real highlight was how welcome our young children were, splashing in the pool and watching the storms in the distance on the fab deck.
I recommend the lovely evening meal and use of Liz Spiret a local guide.
